Address: 15100 Gulf Blvd, Madeira Beach, Florida 33708

It is located across from the intersection of Gulf Boulevard and Madeira Way. With towering palms lining the parking lot out to the beach, fresh wooden decking around the 1930s-era Snack Shack, and new pay stations replacing the old meters, there’s not much evidence that Archibald Beach Park has been here for nearly 100 years.

It has a covered picnic area, restrooms, showers, and metered parking. You'll see a big log cabin, which used to be "The Snack Shack," back in the day.

The closest hotel is the New Marriott Hotel along the Intracoastal Waterway and a perfect place to stay.
